Program Overview: What is Sustainable Buildings and Real Estate?
Edstellar's Sustainable Buildings & Real Estate is an instructor-led program for facilities, asset management, and real estate teams accountable for building performance. Participants study energy efficiency, embodied carbon and materials, net-zero decarbonization pathways, and green leases as an asset strategy. The program connects engineering measures to portfolio value, not just certification badges.
Across 24 hours and six modules, short briefings give way to guided labs in every session. Your team benchmarks a building's energy use, models retrofit options, and drafts a green lease clause with instructor coaching and feedback on each exercise. Instructors review the numbers and assumptions with the cohort, so every technique is practiced against realistic building scenarios. It finishes with a capstone: a building retrofit plan the team presents for critique.
Portfolios face rising energy costs, carbon reporting pressure, and tenants who now read the EPC before signing. Teams without this skillset approve upgrades on gut feel and watch payback periods drift. This program teaches your people to measure, model, and sequence retrofit investments, turning buildings from a liability line into a managed asset.
When the program ends, your team owns a building retrofit plan they built themselves: baseline, modeled options, phased investment sequence, and lease strategy, all reviewed by the instructor. It is the kind of document that gets a retrofit approved in a real investment committee.
Six modules and 24 hours: green building foundations, energy efficiency and building systems, embodied carbon and materials, net-zero buildings and decarbonization pathways, green leases and asset strategy, and a capstone building retrofit plan. Every module pairs concepts with a guided lab, so each technique is practiced. It closes with a reviewed capstone plan your team can present to stakeholders.

Prioritize Building Sustainability Measures With Performance and Asset Evidence
Edstellar develops sustainable-building capability through energy, materials, and asset-management decisions. Participants compare retrofit measures, examine embodied carbon, and explore green-lease arrangements using sample property evidence. A sequenced plan is reviewed for transparent assumptions, coherent decarbonization choices, and clear responsibilities across owners, operators, and occupants.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore facilities and asset responsibilities, building-performance concerns, and available data to identify priorities in efficiency, materials, decarbonization pathways, and lease arrangements.
- Step 02
Plan
Green-building foundations lead into systems efficiency, embodied carbon, net-zero pathways, and asset strategy before a complete building-retrofit plan and review.
- Step 03
Align
Building sustainability and asset-management expertise supports facilities, real-estate, and ESG colleagues, connecting engineering measures with their operating, investment, and reporting responsibilities.
- Step 04
Customize
A fictional property and sample audit findings create realistic retrofit and lease choices without inspecting an actual building or committing owners to expenditure.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants prioritize energy measures, compare material options, and draft green-lease clauses, receiving feedback on evidence, payback assumptions, responsibilities, and asset-strategy fit.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the retrofit plan for supported performance priorities, coherent carbon and energy assumptions, practical sequencing, and clear allocation of implementation and review responsibilities.
